Leafs Lament
CFP Poetry Online
(With Apologies To G. K. Chesterton.)
We Lonesome Leafs Are Shocked And Awed
By The Myriad Media Stings,
Like Chesterton's Hapless Donkey, We Are Seen As Splay-footed Things. Fools! We Once Were Champions In A Shining Time So Sweet, When The Cheering Echoed Far-and-wide From Our Shrine On Carlton Street. Some Day We Will Be Champs Again, On That You Can Rely, And We'll Chill Our Lowly Critics Out And Kiss Them All Goodbye. William Bedford
